Kimi K3 Is Now Selectable in GitHub Copilot — An Open-Weight Chinese Frontier Model Inside Microsoft's Coding Product
GitHub Changelog·high signal
GitHub's changelog entry dated 2026-08-06 makes Kimi K3 generally available across Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise, hosted by GitHub on Fireworks AI. The rollout was briefly paused the same day during a GitHub Actions incident, then resumed. Pricing is $3 per 1M input tokens and $15 per 1M output, and admins must explicitly enable the Kimi K3 policy for Business/Enterprise orgs — the second open-weight Moonshot model in Copilot after K2.7 went GA on 2026-07-01.
